MY TRAVEL DIARY

  • When Five Become Three

    When Five Become Three

    Today saw us embracing an early start so my brother and his girlfriend could catch the train home. We took in the views along the way, despite the lashing rain, and shortly after they had departed, leaving us with the rest of the day to fill. We took a drive back through Glencoe, stopping off… Read more

  • Coastal Exploration

    Coastal Exploration

    Today we travelled in the opposite direction to anywhere we’d yet visited, heading further West across the country.

  • Plitvice Lakes National Park

    Plitvice Lakes National Park

    The Plitvice Lakes are a sheer wonder to experience if you find yourself in Croatia. While, unlike other similar locations, you can’t bathe in the crystal clear waters there, it’s almost a good thing. The lakes are so well preserved and you can tell visitors truly respect this natural site. There are two main routes… Read more
